Due to gastro problems I was having, MRI and CT scan were done. Those tests detected a lesion on my left kidney. Was eventually referred to a Urologist who ordered an ultrasound. She was NOT happy with the way the test was done or the radiology report. She wanted another one done in 3 mos. She has since left that group. I made an appt myself with a urologist I had seen years ago. He ordered another ultrasound to be done in 3 mos, which I had done today.
The other reports stated this spot was 9 mm in size.
I went to a new radiology site to have the test done today and took the other reports in for the radiologist to see from the past tests.
The test was done and then he came in and had her do it again and viewed it himself. He felt that is it very small and has not grown in a year since it was first detected. His feeling was that, if it were malignant, it would have grown in size by now and said probably nothing to worry about He will send a report to my doctor, whom I see next week.
Was wondering if all this sounds reasonable. I have not been well but does not seem to be related to any kidney problems.
Would appreciate some feedback.
thanks
